Volume 1 – 1st printing. Story and art by Metafrog. Stories from the surreal yet unnervingly real world of Martin Nitram. Softcover, 108 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.99.

An offbeat, darkly comic drama that centres on the characters and events in an absurd theatre play. Collecting the critically acclaimed series from the surreal yet unnervingly real world of Martin Nitram. The first volume included the long out of print short story collection. Strange Weather Lately is the title of a series of comics created and released between 1996 and 1999 by the Glasgow-based Franco-Scottish duo Metaphrog. The very first issue was entitled Strange Weather Lately – Martin Nitram #1 and comprised a series of short comic stories along with a hand-numbered print, released in 1996. It was followed by a longer story, beginning in Strange Weather Lately #2 and continuing in a series of ten cult comics published bimonthly until 1999 when the collected story was released in two graphic novels. Metaphrog used creative marketing to promote the releases of their books and comics, creating Strange Weather Lately cans of beans and tea bags as well as posters, bookmarks and flyers. The Sunday Herald in Glasgow described Strange Weather Lately as “the existential adventures of Martin Nitram, an unpaid theatre worker engaged in an attempt to mount a cursed play, The Crimes Of Tarquin J Swaffe.”
